Word of the Day: Insane
She thinks she's levitating.
They say she's gone insane —
"I'm Queen of Butterflies
And Crown-Head of the Cranes!
Look here, my airy dress,
And here, my magick mane.
No damsel in distress —
I'm Goddess with a name!
Bow down, you petty peasants!
You're in my presence grand.
Yes, you belong to me,
For I've the upper hand.
Now watch me freely soar
Towards the cirrus sky.
Tell Mother she's a whore!
Tell Father bye and bye..."
She thinks she's levitating.
They give her Seroquel.*
The milligrams should do it.
They hope she soon gets well.
